Having just completed her foundation at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Graphic Designer Christal Sih‘s rigorous training in fine arts has allowed her to switch comfortably between different means of expression.

Christal’s vibrant body of work pulls enthusiastically from her passion for all things cute, creepy and kitschy. “That is why mascots are a motif that come out quite often in my work. As cute as they are, they represent complex and oftentimes more evil entities like consumption and obsession. It intrigues me when the lines between happiness and darkness blur; I think it is a concept that is quite ubiquitous in life.”
